Recent Highlights
-- On November 12, 2010, we issued $180 million senior subordinated notes
due 2021 at an effective yield of approximately 7 1/4%. We used the net
proceeds from this offering plus cash to redeem all $188 million of our
outstanding 7 7/8% senior subordinated notes due 2014.
-- On January 18, 2011 we completed an early redemption of $100 million of
our 7 3/8% senior subordinated notes due 2015 with available cash.
Peter R. Huntsman, our President and CEO, commented:
"Our fourth quarter 2010 adjusted EBITDA was greater than any of our previous fourth quarters. While pleased with the positive results, I am more encouraged by the underlying trends within our businesses. Average selling prices increased on a sequential basis within our largest businesses and our capacity utilization rates are improving on a seasonally adjusted basis. This past November, we announced our expectation to achieve Adjusted EBITDA of $1.325 billion within the next two to three years. Given current improving global economic trends, I continue to be confident that we can achieve these earnings."

Three Months Ended December 31, 2010 Compared to Three Months Ended December 31, 2009
Revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2010 increased to $2,412 million from $2,064 million for the same period in 2009. For the three months ended December 31, 2010, Adjusted EBITDA was $219 million compared to $174 million for the same period in 2009.
Polyurethanes
The increase in revenues in our Polyurethanes division for the three months ended December 31, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 was primarily due to higher sales prices and higher sales volumes. Average selling prices for MDI and PO/MTBE increased in response to higher raw material costs. MDI sales volumes increased as a result of improved demand in all regions and across all major sectors with the exception of appliances, while PO/MTBE sales volumes were essentially the same. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to lower PO/MTBE contribution margins partially offset by increased MDI earnings.
Performance Products
The increase in revenues in our Performance Products division for the three months ended December 31, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 was due to higher average selling prices and higher sales volumes. Average selling prices increased across all product groups primarily in response to stronger market conditions and higher raw material costs, partially offset by the strength of the U.S. dollar against major European currencies. Sales volumes increased primarily due to higher demand and additional sales of certain products previously produced under tolling arrangements. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to higher contribution margins and higher sales volumes partially offset by higher manufacturing and selling, general and administrative costs.
Advanced Materials
The increase in revenues in our Advanced Materials division for the three months ended December 31, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 was due to higher average selling prices and higher sales volumes. Average selling prices increased in our specialty components and base resins business primarily in response to higher raw material costs partially offset by lower average selling prices in our formulations business primarily as a result of competitive market pressure in our wind business and overall product mix. Sales volumes increased in the Americas and Asia-Pacific regions while volumes were essentially the same in Europe. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to higher manufacturing and selling, general and administrative costs partially offset by higher contribution margins and higher sales volumes.
Textile Effects
Revenues in our Textile Effects division for the three months ended December 31, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 were essentially the same. Average selling prices increased primarily due to favorable changes in product mix partially offset by the strength of the U.S. dollar against major European currencies. Sales volumes decreased primarily in Asia and in specialty textiles. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to lower manufacturing and selling, general and administrative costs and higher contribution margins.
Pigments
The increase in revenues in our Pigments division for the three months ended December 31, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 was due to higher average selling prices and higher sales volumes. Average selling prices increased primarily as a result of price increase initiatives in all regions of the world partially offset by the strength of the U.S. dollar against major European currencies. Sales volumes increased primarily due to recovery in demand across all global markets. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA in our Pigments division was primarily due to higher contribution margins and higher sales volumes partially offset by higher manufacturing and selling, general and administrative costs.
Corporate, LIFO and Other
Corporate, LIFO and other includes unallocated foreign exchange gains and losses, unallocated corporate overhead, loss on our accounts receivable securitization program, income (expenses) associated with the terminated merger with Hexion and related litigation, loss on early extinguishment of debt, income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests, unallocated restructuring costs, LIFO inventory valuation reserve adjustments and non-operating income and expense. Adjusted EBITDA from Corporate, LIFO and Other increased by $2 million to a loss of $56 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010 compared to a loss of $58 million for the same period in 2009.
Income Taxes
During 2010 we recorded income tax expense of $29 million compared to $444 million in 2009. Our adjusted effective income tax rate for 2010 was approximately 25%. We expect our long term effective income tax rate to be approximately 30 - 35%. We have tax valuation allowances in countries such as Switzerland and the United Kingdom where our Textile Effects and Pigments businesses have meaningful operations. The increase in profitability from our Pigments business has had the effect of reducing our adjusted effective income tax rate. As our Pigments and Textile Effects businesses return to greater levels of profitability we expect the tax valuation allowances to eventually be removed. During 2010 we paid $6 million in cash for income taxes. We expect our cash tax rate to continue to be less than our effective income tax rate.
Liquidity, Capital Resources and Outstanding Debt
As of December 31, 2010, we had $1,434 million of combined cash and unused borrowing capacity compared to $2,510 million at December 31, 2009. The decrease from 2009 year end was primarily attributable to the repurchase of convertible notes of $382 million, the net reduction in unused bank credit facilities of $350 million, an increase in primary working capital of $307 million and the repayment of $295 million of bank term debt (including $110 million of repayments funded by insurance proceeds received).
Beginning January 1, 2010, as a result of changes in accounting guidelines outstanding borrowings related to the sales of accounts receivable under our accounts receivable programs are accounted for as secured borrowings. Excluding the impact of this change, our primary working capital (accounts receivable, inventory and accounts payable) increased $307 million primarily due to increased sales volumes and higher prices. Total capital expenditures, net of reimbursements were $103 million during the fourth quarter of 2010 compared to $49 million for the same period in 2009. For the year ended December 31, 2010, total capital expenditures, net of reimbursements were $202 million compared to $189 million for 2009. We expect to spend approximately $350 million on capital expenditures, net of reimbursements in 2011.
On November 12, 2010, we issued $180 million senior subordinated notes due 2021 at an effective yield of approximately 7 1/4%. We used the net proceeds from this offering plus cash to redeem all $188 million of our outstanding 7 7/8% senior subordinated notes due 2014.
On January 18, 2011 we completed an early redemption of $100 million of our 7 3/8% senior subordinated notes due 2015 with available cash.

(1) We use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to measure the operating performance of our business. We provide Adjusted net income because we feel it provides meaningful insight for the investment community into the performance of our business. We also provide Adjusted EBITDA from discontinued operations and Adjusted net income from discontinued operations for informational purposes only. We believe that net income (loss) attributable to Huntsman Corporation is the performance measure calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. ("GAAP") that is most directly comparable to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income. We believe that income (loss) from discontinued operations is the performance measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP that is most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA from discontinued operations and Adjusted net income from discontinued operations. Additional information with respect to our use of each of these financial measures follows:
EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Huntsman Corporation before interest, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. EBITDA as used herein is not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. The reconciliation of EBITDA to net income (loss) attributable to Huntsman Corporation is set forth in the operating results table above.
Adjusted EBITDA is computed by eliminating the following from EBITDA: gains and losses from discontinued operations; restructuring, impairment and plant closing (credits) costs; income and expense associated with the terminated merger and related litigation; acquisition related expenses; losses on the sale of accounts receivable to our securitization program; unallocated foreign currency (gain) loss; certain legal and contract settlements; losses from early extinguishment of debt; extraordinary loss (gain) on the acquisition of a business; and loss (gain) on disposition of business/assets. The reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to EBITDA is set forth in the Reconciliation of Adjustments table above.
Adjusted EBITDA from discontinued operations is computed by eliminating the following from income (loss) from discontinued operations: income taxes; depreciation and amortization; restructuring, impairment and plant closing (credits) costs; losses on the sale of accounts receivable to our securitization program; unallocated foreign currency (gain) loss; gain on fire insurance settlement; (gain) loss on disposition of business/assets; and non-recurring costs and expenses. The following table provides a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA from discontinued operations to income (loss) from discontinued operations:

The reconciliation of Adjusted net income (loss) from discontinued operations to net income (loss) attributable to Huntsman Corporation is set forth in the Reconciliation of Adjustments table above.
During the first quarter of 2010, we began reporting our LIFO inventory valuation reserves as part of Corporate and other; these reserves were previously reported in our Performance Products segment. During the fourth quarter of 2010, we began reporting the (income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interests in the reporting segment to which the subsidiary relates. Previously, (income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interests was reported in our Corporate and other segment. All relevant information for prior periods has been reclassified to reflect these changes.
(2) On August 1, 2007, we completed the sale of our U.S. polymers business to Flint Hills Resources. On November 5, 2007, we completed the sale of our U.S. base chemicals business to Flint Hills Resources. During the first quarter 2010 we closed our Australian styrenics operations. Results from these businesses are treated as discontinued operations.
